Britain on State of Alert After Temperature Soars to 20°C
Jul 1st
Britain is on a national state of alert as the temperature soars past 20°C. Prime Minister Brown is urging the public not to panic despite the shocking conditions. Mr Brown has declared a yellow alert and warned about the dangers of exposing oneself to the sun unprotected. It has been three years since Britain last experienced a summer so the hot weather has lead to a lot of confusion and fear. The M.O.D have received hundreds of calls about a strange bright light hovering above various cities around the country.
Some areas of Scotland are thought to have thawed out almost completely with local residents having to take off their second coat for the first time in years. In London the public transport system has ground to a halt with tube trains melting on the tracks. Overland trains have not been in service since the big freeze over the winter.
Pale limbs are being exposed to the sun around the country and sales of socks and sandals are booming. England football shirts are being removed and Burberry caps loosened in job centre queues up and down this fair isle. The number of car crashes is rising steadily as men stare in disbelief at the shocking amount of female flesh on display.
Meteorologists have warned that this heatwave may last up to several days and there are fears that it will not rain until Thursday afternoon.

See-Through Swimsuits Designed To Provide An All-Over Tan.
Jun 1st
A new range of swimsuits have been designed that aim to prevent tan lines by letting sunlight through to the wearers skin. The range is made from a material that is full of tiny holes that let 80% of light in whilst preserving your modesty. The swimsuits feature bright, complex patterns designed to distract the eye so that the holes aren’t noticed.
Health experts have voiced concerns about the range which they believe may leave wearers at risk of contracting skin cancer. They point out that suncream must be worn underneath any articles of clothing that let light through.
“I think it is a dangerous idea and in the interests of vanity. We recommend UV protected clothing and this is the very opposite. Five people a day are diagnosed with malignant melanomas. It is a killer and affects more people here than in Australia.”
Richard Clifford, of ‘Skcin (The Karen Clifford Skin Cancer Charity)
We are increasingly being encouraged to avoid getting a sun tan at all with experts suggesting that it is safer to fake it than risk burning. John Walker of Kiniki who created the swimsuits suggests that wearers put on the same amount of suncream under their swimsuits as they would on completely exposed areas of their body to avoid burning.
